I've got a small handyman team doing everything from cabinet installs to light fixture swaps, but we're losing track of who did what on multi-day gigs with Jobber. It's costing me at least 2 hours a week chasing down missing punch lists for clients like that Benjamin Moore repaint last month. Switched from paper notes to this app thinking it'd save time, but the guys keep screwing up the mobile entries. Anyone got a better setup for managing employees on odd-job runs? Saw a thread on r/handyman about Housecall Pro being a game-changer for this.

don't let your guys go full paperless without mandatory training, i switched to jobber and lost a whole week chasing incomplete entries from my crew. ended up firing one for constant screwups that cost me a benjamin moore client.

jobber's a total piece of crap for trackin crews on those scattered odd jobs, always leavin us chasin our tails while the clients bitch about unfinished patches, same bullshit everyone deals with in this game.

man, i feel that pain with jobber too, my crew's always forgetting to log the damn drywall patches and it turns into a huge headache chasing signatures.

jobber's a pain in the ass for tracking anything beyond basic scheduling, my crew forgets to log half their shit and i'm stuck chasing them down too. housecall pro might be better but i wouldn't bet on it fixing dumbass users.

Sounds like my first rodeo with software, ended up with a crew member billing for ghost jobs on a fence repair. 😂 Train em once a week and it'll click, or just stick to paper till you scale up.
